LINCOLNWOOD, IL-North Capital was able to successfully bid Friday for the entire Purple Hotel property. The property, now vacant, was great in its heyday but has fallen into disrepair after infamous drug and swinger parties and a mob hit.

Village Resorts Inc., owned by the Bae family, defaulted on the property loan, and North Capital and Foster Bank respectively bought the notes on the adjoining parcels, until the Bae family filed bankruptcy. In a court agreement to solve the dispute, Sheldon Good auctioned both properties on Friday, with North Capital providing the winning bid of $8.3 million.

North Capital had convinced the village to hold off building demolition desires until after the auction. Now the company, joined by Weiss Properties, will present a mixed-use retail and banquet hall plan to the village.

The 293-room hotel was built 52 years ago and hosted Hollywood stars and singers from that era. The property hit a low point in 1983 when mobster Allen Dorfman was shot to death in the parking lot.
